he is pencilled in as the closer and with marlins being penny pinchers they arent expected to sign anyone else. he was one of the better middle relievers and projects to be a good closer but you never can tell. dotel was formerly one of the top middle relievers but he seemed to struggle some as a closer as did latroy hawkins.

the marlins really have no one on their roster with his stuff, so he should be the closer unless he blows it in ST or early in the season...... if u can get him as a 3rd save option i think he will be just fine for you
